Richie James Leads Giants With 51 Receiving Yards In Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Richie James led the team in receiving with five receptions for 51 yards in the Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. The former seventh-round pick was heavily involved in the aerial attack in Week 1 and he maintained that role in Week 2 versus the Panthers. The Giants have […]

Greg Dortch Finds The End Zone In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch caught four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in the team's 29-23 overtime win in Week 2. He caught all four of his targets, with his longest catch going for 29 yards. The speedster wasn't able to command as big of a role despite 49 pass attempts from […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Makes All Three Field-Goal Attempts In Week 2

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn went 3-for-3 on field goals in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Fairbairn's foot provided all nine of Houston's points. Through two games, Fairbairn is now 5-for-5 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. The struggles of this offense have helped and hurt Fairbairn so far—limiting his extra point […]

Marquise Brown Catches Six Passes In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown caught six passes for 68 yards on 11 targets in the team's comeback victory in Week 2. Brown was stopped on the one-yard line after a near touchdown and dropped a pass on a potential long gain in overtime, so fantasy managers were very close to a potentially huge […]

Saquon Barkley Records 88 Total Yards In Week 2 Victory

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley turned 21 carries into 72 rushing yards while also posting 16 receiving yards on three receptions in the team's Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. It was a disappointing performance from the electric running back, especially with the workload he received. At the same time, it was […]

George Pickens Catches One Pass In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught one of his three targets for 23 yards in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Pickens was a preseason darling but he has yet to make much of an impact through the first two games of the regular season. The rookie out of […]

Jarvis Landry Underwhelming In Week 2

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry finished with four catches for 25 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Landry did not live up to expectations after a nice Week 1 performance. Chris Olave saw 13 targets and Michael Thomas had nine. Landry was even behind tight end Juwan […]

Zach Ertz Catches Eight Passes For 75 Yards

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz caught eight passes for 75 yards in Sunday's 29-23 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Ertz saw 11 targets in this one as Kyler Murray attempted 49 passes, as he got multiple looks in the end zone. His 11 targets were tied for the team lead with wide receiver […]

O.J. Howard Disappoints In Week 2

Houston Texans tight end O.J. Howard was a popular waiver wire add last week after he caught two touchdowns in the opener, but his performance in Week 2 against the Broncos might lead to him returning to those same wires. The Texans targeted tight ends on 10 of their 37 pass attempts, but just one […]

Juwan Johnson Puts In Another Good Showing In Week 2

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson finished with four catches for 40 yards on seven targets in Sunday's loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As a surprise pass-catching option for quarterback Jameis Winston this season, it was great to see Johnson build on his Week 1 performance of 40 yards on two catches. Taysom […]

Brandin Cooks Targeted 10 Times In Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team in targets for the second week in a row on Sunday in Houston's 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Cooks was targeted 10 times, hauling in four of those for 54 yards. Cooks saw a little dip in usage with Nico Collins getting more involved, but […]

Darrel Williams Finds The End Zone In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams carried the ball eight times for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also added two catches for three yards, as he earned a more significant role when James Conner (ankle) did not return to the game. Williams and running […]

Steelers Defense Picks Up One Turnover In Week 2

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was unable to record a sack and forced just one turnover in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. The Steelers were forced to play without star pass-rusher T.J. Watt and it showed as they struggled to get pressure on Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. They were led […]

Nico Collins Targeted Nine Times In Week 2

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted nine times in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, with the former Michigan Wolverine catching four of those for 58 yards. He was second on the team in targets but led the Texans in receiving yards. Collins showed some good connection with quarterback Davis Mills at the […]

Cowboys Defense Solid In Week 2 Victory

The Dallas Cowboys defense was solid in a Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The defense didn't record any turnovers, but they sacked Joe Burrow six times and only allowed 17 points. In standard DST scoring leagues, that's good for a nine fantasy point performance. With an extra day to get ready for a […]

Dolphins Defense Struggles In Week 2

The Miami Dolphins' defense struggled against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Although Miami came back in the win, the majority of the credit goes to the offense. The Dolphins' defense registered zero turnovers and zero sacks while allowing Lamar Jackson to rack up 318 passing yards, 119 rushing yards, and four total touchdowns. Their […]

Michael Thomas Continues Bounce-Back Campaign

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas finished with six receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in the Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thomas again looked like his old self, being a go-to guy for injured quarterback Jameis Winston. Interestingly, he continued to move around the line and […]

Brett Maher Makes Two Field Goals And Two Extra Points

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all four of his kicking attempts in a Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Maher kicked two extra points and two field goals, including a game-winner from 50 yards out. His other field goal came from 54 yards away. With quarterback Cooper Rush set to make at least […]

Dameon Pierce Sees Increased Role In Week 2

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce was a popular preseason sleeper, but his role in Week 1 against the Colts really stymied that hype when he took a back seat to Rex Burkhead. That trend took a major shift in Week 2's loss to the Broncos, though, as Pierce ended up being the only […]

Chris Boswell Makes Two Field Goals In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made both of his field goals in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Boswell hit field goals from 36 and 52 yards in the loss although he did not attempt an extra point as the Steelers went for two after their only touchdown. The veteran […]

Kyler Murray Leads Comeback Win With 277 Passing Yards

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray led a comeback victory in Week 2 as he completed 31-of-49 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. Murray added 28 yards and another score on the ground, as he took over the game in the fourth quarter and led his team to an improbable […]

Dalton Schultz Catches Two Passes; Leaves Early In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (leg) was targeted four times in a Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, making two catches for a total of 18 yards. Schultz was forced to leave the game late in the fourth quarter after suffering a leg injury and was not on the field for the game-winning […]

Jason Sanders Makes All Six Extra Points

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders connected on all six of his extra point attempts during Sunday's comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens. He did not attempt a field goal in the Week 2 contest. Sanders has now made all 10 of his kicks this season, demonstrating impressive efficiency through the first two games. A kicker's […]

Chris Olave Leads Saints In Receiving In Week 2 Loss

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave finished with 13 targets that he turned into five catches for 80 yards in the Week 2 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a lackluster Week 1 performance, Olave showed why he was a high draft pick in the first round. Being able to show his […]

Daniel Jones Totals Only 197 Yards In Week 2 Win

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 of his 34 attempts for 176 yards and a touchdown while also adding 21 rushing yards on 10 carries in the Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Giants didn't need the former first-round pick to do much in the win for the second consecutive week, […]

Davis Mills Struggles Against Broncos

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills had another underwhelming performance in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Mills was 19-for-38 from the field, finishing with 177 yards. He didn't throw an interception, but he also didn't throw a touchdown despite having one more pass attempt than he did in Week 1. Mills is in no danger […]

Mike Gesicki Catches Touchdown In Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in all four of his targets for 41 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens. He certainly bounced back following his one-yard effort against the Patriots last Sunday. Despite playing in an offense that centers around Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, Gesicki should […]

CeeDee Lamb Makes Seven Catches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys in catches and targets in a Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb was targeted 11 times, catching seven of those passes for a total of 75 yards. He was out-gained by Noah Brown, who had 91 yards and a touchdown on just five catches. […]

Pat Freiermuth Finds The End Zone In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught four of his seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Freiermuth was on his way to a disappointing afternoon when he came down with an eight-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The second-year tight […]

River Cracraft Catches Touchdown Pass In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver River Cracraft hauled in one of his two targets for a two-yard touchdown during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. His score played a role in Miami's comeback win. Cracraft went untargeted against New England in Week 1. He does not have any fantasy football appeal going forward.
